Mobile Payment service by Orange in Ivory Coast

Orange Ivory Coast and BNP Paribas are in an alliance to instigate Orange Money service. This mobile payment service will provide following benefits to its customers:

  • Day-to-Day banking services (deposit and withdraw up to XOF 100,000)
  • Transferring Money from one person to another
  • Buying up to XOF 10,000 of call credit and paying bills

Orange says the system guarantees transactions against the risk of theft or fraud and is fully compliant with West African Economic and Monetary Union regulations. All transactions are guaranteed for senders and recipients. The customers do not need to hold a bank account to subscribe to the service.
